It is far from unheard of for someone to kill themselves in these situations. Also, still working in the industry could be considered surviving and someone who left the industry due to this treatment could be considered someone who didn't survive.
So i'd say survivor fits perfectly.
- asymmetric 10y agoCommitting suicide over something like this seems a bit extreme. Don't want to trivialize her suffering, or the gravity of what happened, but infantilizing people also doesn't help in making them stronger. Of course it's not up to me to decide when committing suicide makes sense (does it ever?), but this is the issue I see with the word "survivor": it seems to want to portray what happened in terms of a life threatening situation. As far as I can tell, it wasn't. Now, back to the main issue, i.e. sexual harassment at Uber.
